Blue Days

Depression is real. It's nasty and I do not like it.
It is - however- part of my journey as is anxiety.
I am not 'bipolar'.
I am not a 'major depressive'.
I do still have episodes of panic and my troubles with 
Orienteering have gotten worse.
'They' have no idea what I am.
I know that Yoga saved my life. If I had not 
Pushed through and gotten my certification -- 
I may have given up on what it had to offer.
Every day I am reminded of what I can do to try
To help others with their struggles.
One of my hopes is that I can understand what
Some people go through.
These struggles of life are not isolated.
I do not think I would be the teacher I am now if
It were not for the struggles endured along
The way.

There be gentlemen who have the credit of worldly wisdom, because they are not only themselves oracles of all nobleness by their example and their behavior, but those who surround them form a well-bred academy of worldly wisdom of the best and noblest kind. -- Baltasar Gracian -- Translated by JOSEPH JACOBS How can we best use these words of a man who lived in the 17th Cen...

I will be attending a Yoga teacher training in July of this year.  It will be an immersion intensive, and I will most likely decompress on this wayward blog.
